At this point, he is about to have a Greg Oden injury (busted knee getting up from the couch).

So is the Eastern Conference better than the West this season? Top 10 teams in the east all are over .500 where as the west only have 5 teams over .500, 2 teams at .500 and the rest sub .500

Yeah, a lot better, still could get in better shape but definitely no where near as bad as some are making out. That said, I don't look as big either when I wear a hoodie

Definitely!
I don't know how to feel towards his situation. On one hand I feel sorry for him, probably getting all sorts of comments about his weight on his socials and seeing it whilst browsing. It would be hard on anyone especially a 21 year old. However he's been around elite nutritionists and trainers and before his injury he should've trimmed down a bit more.
He's getting support from the Pelicans VP of basketball operations though which is good for him.

With all the teams close to blowing things up we may be able to get a good player and picks while helping facilitate a deal. We have 3 TPE's and could absorb some contracts.
We have a 17m and 4m TPE's and we're 22m under the luxury tax.

This is the right idea.
The Magic should absolutely be looking to take on an unwanted contract for draft assets or a young cost controlled players.

On Sept 2021:
Brooklyn Nets: $39.967 million over
Golden State Warriors: $38.239 million over
Los Angeles Clippers: $29.778 million over
Los Angeles Lakers: $26.515 million over
Milwaukee Bucks: $21.6 million over
Utah Jazz: $17.348 million over
Philadelphia 76ers: $7.062 million over
Boston Celtics: $6.918 million over
Portland Trail Blazers: $3.96 million over
Miami Heat: $3.039 million over
Washington Wizards: $2.104 million over
Toronto Raptors: $1.018 million over
Indiana Pacers: $961,000 over
There are many layers and tiers of teams that would dump salary. Orlando absolutely needs to swallow a bad deal. Mr. Haris is another asset with the TPEs in this process.

Zion is allegedly between 310 and 330 pounds. You don't need to photoshop pictures to figure he needs to lose 60 pounds

Obviously not but it’s just funny how the internet shopped the pictures of him when visually he doesn’t look as bad as the one going around.
Also people are saying the same thing about Luka now I saw a meme of Mark Henry and Big Show with people saying that’s Luka and Zion

Luka admited he is out of shape, said he relaxed too much after Olympics. At least he owns it.
Zion hired fitness coach... don't know why he needed to be in year 3 of nba to do so tho

He probably hired one from self awareness as well probably didn’t say anything to the media or many people. Or the Pels advised him to get one. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to trim this off season but his injury could’ve affected that

Has any team in league history followed a 10+ game losing streak with 7-straight wins? The answer must be no. Correct?
Anyhow, with the Rockets incredible win over the Nets, Houston in now only 2 1/2 games out of a play-in slot.

I saw that. It was a strange point to make though. I mean, I'd be super-impressed if an NFL team pulled it off.

Houston and OKC are BOTH sporting winning streaks right now. We are in the Twilight Zone.
